Do not tilt tool to the side.
Hold the tool at a angle 15° to the metal surface (fig. 4.)

Excessive feed rates reduce the performance considerably and shorten the life of the cutters.
Sharp cutters produce good cutting results and protects the tool.
Do not load the tool so heavily that it stalls.
Cutting curved lines: Do not tilt the tool and work with low feed rate.
See special cutter blades on page 9 for various materials.
Maintenance
Service
!WARNING Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Bosch tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Bosch replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.
BEARINGS
After about
should be replaced at Bosch Factory Service Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station. Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor failure.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Certain cleaning agents ! CAUTION and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
